  The Apothecary's Wife - The...

  The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments—and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century. 
   
   
   
  Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today's global for-profit medication system. A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary's Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine's values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.

  Your doctor said it's incurable. Now what? 
  When physicians told Dr. Aaron Hartman his adopted daughter would remain a vegetable, he faced every parent's nightmare. Born with devastating brain damage after prenatal drug exposure, Anna wasn't supposed to see, walk or speak. Her diagnosis of cerebral palsy was pronounced “uncurable.” The medical system offered only surgeries, feeding tubes and lowered expectations. 
  But his daughter Anna had other plans. 
  UnCURABLE: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds reveals the hidden revolution in functional medicine that helped Anna beat impossible odds—and shows how you can access these same breakthroughs. Inside, you'll discover:Why 80% of chronic conditions have overlooked root causes (and how to find yours)The three pillars that account for 80% of healing, without expensive treatmentsHow to navigate medical gaslighting and become your own advocateThe “Triangle of Health” system used by elite athletes, now accessible to everyoneWhy medical error is the third leading cause of death (and how to protect yourself)How your diet can heal disease through targeted nutrition protocolsHolistic approaches to curing diseases that conventional medicine overlooks 
  From reversing autoimmune conditions to recovering from mystery illnesses, Dr. Hartman's patients prove daily that “uncurable” doesn't mean “untreatable.” Written by a traditionally trained medical doctor who might be expected to dismiss alternative medicine, UnCURABLE provides a firsthand, medically sound path for those seeking solutions when conventional medicine falls short. 
  This isn't another alternative medicine book. It's your blueprint for working with science—not against it—to unlock your body's remarkable capacity to heal.

  Not long ago, having published two narratives of voyages in the Pacific, which, in many quarters, were received with incredulity, the thought occurred to me, of indeed writing a romance of Polynesian adventure, and publishing it as such; to see whether, the fiction might not, possibly, be received for a verity: in some degree the reverse of my previous experience.This thought was the germ of others, which have resulted in Mardi.
